Richard Landes continues to expose French journalist Charles Enderlin as the fool he is with a massive fisking of an Enderlin blog post (since removed in shame) here: Enderlin answers Bourret: Fisking Enderlin's Blog's Response (later removed). Enderlin's flailing on the matter is pathetic and, considering the damage he's done, rather disgusting. Richard also has a piece up at Pajamas Media that gives a bit more background, and takes note of a Financial Times article that recycles the Al Dura myth by making the obvious connection to Iran's Neda: Revisiting 'Al Durah' in Time of Iranian Media Control.
There is of course one major difference between the two images -- the events documented in the video of Neda Soltan actually occurred.
and, as one commenter at PJMedia noted, the real picture of Neda has not provoked huge rallies around the world denouncing the Iranian mullahs as Nazis.
